droid to an ally? not trying to criticize you in anyway but why? the motorola x will be out, the droid 2 will be out and im sure there will be another htc device out by the end of the year. the ally is already outdated compared to the current top android handsets. if you're looking for an android device with a physical keyboard then i would wait for the droid 2. my concern is seeing sombody upgrade to a device that will probably not last the lifetime of you new 2 year contract. if the Ally is what you want then i wish you the best of luck and i hope the device what you are looking for.
